Until the Portland Trail Blazers got swept by the Pelicans, the Thunder were the most-disappointing team, this past season. The Thunder made big moves to convince Russell Westbrook they were serious about building. They traded for Paul George and Carmelo Anthony.
No, PG13 and Melo are not perfect, but they should have been good enough, alongside Russell Westbrook, to guarantee 55 wins. Their struggles were so massive that they only managed 48 wins. With one more regular season win, they notched one more playoff win.
That wasn’t enough to stop Donovan Mitchell’s Utah Jazz from beating them. When free agency hit, Carmelo Anthony informed the Thunder he was opting into his contract. This afternoon, it was revealed that both sides are working on an exit for Melo, leading to speculation about the next team, maybe Denver?
